Thus is my mom`s car, did it for her bday present. I`m pretty new to all this, only owned my 3401 for about 2 months, so be easy.

Used WG TSR with cyan HT pads. Also some mf pads with the TSR for spot correction in heavily scratched areas, mainly along the base of the doors. Was some deep etching on the hood that I couldn`t get out, even with WGUC and the mf pads. Very frustrating. Used nanoskin and ironx to clean the paid. Not much bleeding. Probably won`t buy ironx again anytime soon.

after the TSR, I did a final polish with Meg`s UP and white CCS pads. Removed any residue and improved gloss and clarity. I was hoping it wouldn`t be necessary, but after doing the hood as a test I saw the improve,net and moved forward with the whole car.

Anyway, car looks nice with the coating on it. Great gloss and reflections. Product was easy to use. Flashes relatively quick.y but was easy to buff off with a car pro microseude. Rebuffed each panel later with a mf towel.

i worked in a mostly shaded area, and while it was overcast the sun came out periodically to shine on the hood. The hood was the first area I applied to. This area flashed quickly due to the heat. The rest of the car was much easier. Once I`d finished, I noticed the sun was behind a cloud. I decided to try and reapply the hood to make sure nothing was missed and see the difference in better conditions. This application was easier to spread further, but was streaker and hard to buff off.


Total work time was about 12 hours.



anyway, here is before and after.

Before, but after wash and nano:

Before using the PBL coating did you use the PBL prep polish to insure proper bonding? I find this to be a necessary step for longetivity.

Los there something specific about that PBL polish? I understand the importance of a polishing step, just wouldn`t have thought it be so critical to use that polish. Followed up with an IPA wipe afterwards.
